The Turkish diplomatic mission in Somalia described the late mayor of Mogadishu as a “brilliant son” of Somalia and offered condolences to the Somali people.
Brilliant people existed when 100 camel cost one life, cuz they knew the impact of the loss on their identity and culture. This 3 day thing don't forget that, but it's better then no days(that's reer miyi style of thinking). A good soldier is no different who does his job with excellence and retires with small goat and ranch or farm land, usually they are the most patriotic as they seen this is 'ppl lives' at stack for our 'somali' idea. They even honor the lives of their 'clans men' but 'personally' or 'among themselves' as it doesn't concern u as ' somali' like my father funeral doesnt concern you my neighbor in my street. Ill bring who i want to his funeral based on his time period and his friends/clans/mother and his dandaaran. It's a celebration of a successful life weeye waxani, not a regretful one. My awoowe bah dubays 'mourned' they lost a son of beesha meaning its gonna be hard to fill his shoes, my secon awoowe was a clan soldier and did his job perfectly for his time period and hadaf, retired with a goat. U see they know their boundaries nimankasi reer barigu but history is history and serious matter it's what they use as facts and measurement.
See that name 'yariisow' physical attribute sxb nothing else, all babies start with name like that in somali culture. My awoowe called his babies carab nuug. It means he was still baby inside as an adult. loool.
It's to measure if u change or grow in life from beginning u start as carab nuug do u stay like that till the end of life? doesn't mean it's a bad thing depending on how u spend ur life, but nothing wisdom wise changed for ur family. Iska daa inay somali magac ku bixiso such as ABBE SIYAD. IM TELLING 30 YEARS IS GONE SO ITS TAKE ABOUT 30 YEARS TO BE DEEMED A FATHER IN SOMALI CULTURE. HENCE U SHUD HAVE A KID BY 30 IN PERSONAL LIFE.
